I’m having trouble with the school pick up line this year. Now mind you, I’m a “seasoned” parent since my kid is a FIRST-grader and I already did this rodeo last year. I know the routine people. There are cars coming from three different streets and each one takes their turn accordingly. But for some…
You Capture -Photographer’s Choice
I feel so lucky to get to spend every day with my sweet girl. I considered putting her in some type of Mother’s Day Out starting this month. So much so that I even put her on the waiting list. But truth be told, I’m glad they didn’t have a spot open up. And maybe…
WW – It’s Fast Approaching…
In 16 days my baby girl will have been in my life for 365 days. I know, I’m blown away too. Anyway, I kinda figured we should have a little party so I just sent out a ‘few’ of these… (inside is a small picture of her sweet face and handwriting by me, inviting our…
Oh yeah, and one of my kids started Pre-School…
With all the “hoopla” of our little took five posts to talk about Labor Day trip to NOLA I did not get a chance to talk about my pre-schooler! Little G started last Wednesday. I was nervous because drop-off is SO not his thing. He did cry and I did make a quick exit. But…

Reflections of Me
I look at myself anywhere from 5-25 times a day in a mirror. Usually to put in my contact lenses or do my hair or to put make-up on my face. And of course to see how I look in the clothes I put on for any given day. When I was a teenager I…
New Orleans Part V, Last but Not Least
I had NO idea that it would take FIVE posts to cover a two-day trip to NOLA. Doesn’t that seem a tad excessive? (I know, “you said it Elaine!”) But I take A LOT of pictures these days and well, I like A LOT of the pictures I take. AND, this is my blog and…
You Capture – Signs
There were LOTS ‘o signs to see (and feel, see below…) in New Orleans last weekend. And if I’d actually remembered that this was the topic for You Capture this week, then I might have some good shots. But instead, you’ll just have to settle for these… There were many “flashy” ones, like this one….
WW – New Orleans Part III, BEIGNETS!!
On Sunday we had every intention of trying out the famous beignet (BIN-YAY) and coffee stand, Cafe du Monde. I mean c’mon people, anything coated in powdered sugar, fried AND accompanied by supposed fabulous coffee has to be good.* Anyway, we made good on that promise (to ourselves and the kids). However, this place is…
Were We in Europe?
I looked like a real tourist while we were visiting New Orleans. A tourist with three kids and a husband in tow. The first day we walked all the way from one end of the French Quarter to the other to get to a pizza place a friend had recommended. (It was called Louisiana Pizza…
